cycle of violence the riots release in bahrain five chair gas at a funeral march for an anti regime activist who died in custody after he was allegedly denied medical attention. around the country systematic human rights violations are kept out of the international spotlight on the accusations mainstream media is acting on big bahrain's ruling. class georgian president mikhail saakashvili urged to step down after of dealing election upset at least his policy on the role of bomb global to go on.

this is a. lie for most co hello and welcome to the program talk show violence and arrest was used by human rights activists in bahrain to describe the government's attempts to crush anti regime support in the latest incident riot police move to disperse a funeral procession for a protester who died behind bars after he was allegedly denied proper medical treatment for his policy. mohammed was sentenced to seven years behind bars for participating in problem democracy rallies note that i'm saying pro-democracy rallies his family and his lawyer claimed that he was suffering from sickle cell anemia and he died while in prison because he did not receive adequate medical treatment now thousands of people gathered on tuesday for his funeral procession but it resulted in clashes between protesters and police as the protesters were prevented from reaching the pole roundabout which is the epicenter

of last year's a shiite uprising also on choose date six medics were sent to jail after the bahraini highest court rejected their appeal to overturn their convictions before they roll in and he regime protests which swept the gulf kingdom last year and human rights groups have condemned this the medics were part of a group of twenty doctors who were charged with inciting violence but in fact were really charged with having been perceived to be on the side of those protesting against the regime what we're hearing from human rights groups is that these are prisoners of conscience they're demanding their release and they have criticized the bahraini government for its dismal human rights record both of these stories have gone launched me and noticed in the mainstream media there hasn't been a discussion at the united nations there hasn't been any statements issued by washington and they certainly hasn't been any kind of course by amnesty

international observers are saying that you need to look at the difference in response between what we've seen here and if by comparison this had happened in syria. and. dissent was explicitly covered in a documentary made by a c.n.n. journalist on the film one prestigious journalism awards but it was only adds domestically in the u.s. a decision the documentary maker things was motivated by money. we're able to kind of dodge our minders and sneak into some of the villages and actually see these atrocities patients who had run out of the hospitals that were shot up with birdshot ambulance drivers who were beaten and as we were heading back out of these villages we were violently detained by security forces in rain about twenty masked men with machine guns who then tried to erase all the video that they found and luckily my female producer and i were able to hide some disks in our broads and we were able to actually get out of the country with this content so you can imagine

surprise when we got back to the u.s. and this content was airing on c.n.n. and right after that is when the phone calls started coming into the network complaining about me and trying to get my coverage. is paying c.n.n. to create content that shows bahrain in a favorable light even though c.n.n. says this content you know is editorially independent it doesn't. affect that what we've seen that with this documentary not airing and also with the constant struggle i had at c.n.n. to get bahrain coverage accurate coverage of the human rights abuses on air while i was there what c.n.n. is doing is they're essentially creating what some people have termed infomercials for dictators and that's this sponsored content that they're airing on c.n.n. international that's actually being paid for by regimes and governments and this violates every principle of journalistic ethics because we're supposed to be watchdogs on these governments we're not supposed to allow them to be paying

customers as journalists. the uprising in bahrain started over again will go undone like many of the international broadcasters she was covering this story since the very beginning a time line out of time for pools from the gulf states will be found at home to go . with a bomb and still tearing syria upon it alone bells are ringing for rebel baku. amid concerns the revolution could take another ugly turn some experts are convinced that the jewish community is the number two target on the rebel held late start of president assad and the journalists kapilow comrade he told us that anti semitic sentiment is on the rise in syria. the irony of supporting the rebels who may eventually become great enemies of the west is something that's lost in the into the very eager interventionists who are pushing the west to intervene in syria

to arm the opposition while i interviewed a group of rebels in damascus who were holed up in various parts of damascus and there is a bird. some of them a few of them who traveled from afghanistan so. they had a big fight against the jews ahead of them this is a million to me because i've met people elsewhere particularly in pakistan who say that they have a producer ahead of them so they see that as the ultimate in one of the things that was particularly disturbing to me is how class is being groomed as a possible replacement for assad not a lot of people know that monarch classes father. lasse is a first rate he's written a book called the marts or the design which talks about the blood libel he was smuggled out class was smuggled out of the country by french spies he is he keeps making trips to saudi arabia but not a lot of people know the history behind him and after some people should be wary of

. close being groomed as a possible replacement and series and the only place where there seems no end in sight for violence for the. eleventh even washington is giving out. state of the taliban peace talks. not a blow to swedish police raid the offices of the web or the whistle blowing organization saving the service and the sending end of braille but signed off by. a decade of unchallenged a rule has come to an end or they now all are ruling party of georgia with its head president saakashvili now under pressure to resign and taking out the mantle is the on. position blog georgian dream. promising to undo saakashvili its policies and even hinting at legal action against the need to. now front.

it felt as if georgia had won the football world cup thousands in the streets celebrated the surprising win by the opposition and despite fears the ruling regime may somehow hamper this triumph soon their worries were swept aside by the president himself so. it is evident that the georgian dream coalition has secured a majority this means this parliamentary majority has to form the next government for us at least for me the views of this coalition were fundamentally unacceptable and still remain so. just six months ago in opposition when it was deemed impossible the ruling parties rating was at seventy percent and nobody could challenge that confidence saakashvili was that he amended the constitution granting more powers to the prime minister at position many predicted he would eventually feel himself little did he know he was digging his own hole when he made this changes to the constitution again i would say. it is it time it was

a dream that i never see the parliament result in majority of his party we knew that one day. but we didn't think it would come so probably he. just tailing the constitution on his own shape and on his own he could survive this let's see if whatever whatever last think of linking georgia but that's legal that's for. however this situation did not come out of nowhere prison torture tapes released in september he'd saakashvili the hardest thousands took to the streets as allegations emerged that he personally ordered the torture and filming of these atrocities. and now the president could face more than simply losing his grip on power if there is a big enough majority perhaps to impeach him maybe his term to october next year remember the changing point in this election was the allegations of brutality in

prisons and torture and the allegation behind that was of course that saakashvili and his prime minister merabishvili had ordered this abuse so if you have a situation where the new parliamentary majority wants to investigate that abuse it could well produce a crisis full of his close associates so they could not only have lost the election but they could face serious legal complications the georgia dream bardsley leader and possibly the next prime minister because anybody really has already made his position clear. this man's ideology has established a climate of lies and violence and torture the food you've seen of the things happening in the georgian prison is the result of his ideology because he brought together the group that carried it out it would be good if he submits his resignation rather than a starting various procedures to force him to resign. it was not only the prison

tape scandal which brought soccer serious fortress of power down say experts corruption among elites daunting poverty and playing hardball with russia all contributed but for now georgia is welcoming and new era hoping for a fresh start georgia's history is rich with different sorts of bloody could it does and forestall change of governments in the outgoing president mikheil saakashvili came to power as a result of the revolution so this may well become the first days in its country's history of a peaceful transition of power. r.t. reporting from belief in georgia party politics and making headlines in the u.k. as well with the annual u.k. labor party conference. but later miliband speech was criticized for putting his life story ahead of the latin correspondent briggs's the traditional. name secrets we took today with a fresh report which some aspects of dragoons where even americans are being kept

and his chancellor george osborne who've been branded from within their own party as to push boys who don't know the price of milk but in reality just how different is miliband his father was a socialist intellectual and his upbringing in highbrow north london circles is worlds away from the lives of most british workers he went to oxford and has never had a proper job outside politics apart from a teaching post at harvard's this speech was full of bluster about the all me the police the wonder of the lympics an ephemeral vision for britain some might say that's because policies are few and far between he said he'll still tout the banks make sure companies pay a fair wage and support the national health service but the main announcement of the speech was a promise that if elected labor will instigate a massive increase in food cation the education focusing on the fifty percent of

young people who don't go to university a great idea youth unemployment is around twenty percent at the moment but there was no mention of the all important cost and how it would be met miliband has admitted that labor was in power they'd be making austerity cuts too but he's refused to give any detail until after that elected more than anything miliband has tried again to cost himself as a man of the people but many are saying that if he wants the people to listen what he really needs to do is not talk about himself these seemingly endless anecdotes about his childhood and his family but seriously and in detail about the country and its problems. at a time when much of europe is catching well sound waves can brussels has proposed a massive increase to its own budget the plan to be voted on this week would set brussels on

a condition course where the states it represents many of which staunchly opposed any right of the e.u. new unemployment data the highest in his truck of block john bruce a research at the european university institute says the numbers speak for themselves. well ahead of that the state of the economy is absolutely dire and it actually tells us that what these leaders are trying to do through all these meetings and these summits is actually aggravating the situation the austerity measures that are being imposed to radical structural reforms in each of these things is actually aggravating the situation by undermining grow your mining investor confidence and the humanitarian tragedy i mean there is an enormous public outrage right now in spain as there is in greece as there is in portugal and if these people were allowed to decide on their own future they would not choose the path of the u.s. forcing them down right now so what you're seeing is a repetition of what we've seen for the past twenty or thirty years what's happened in the developing world is that international lenders through international is the tuitions actually cancel the sovereignty of nations states in order to ensure full

repayment of the debt i think everything that they're trying to do ultimately is met by financial market panic and what they're not seeing is that you cannot beat the financial markets unless you're willing to take a stand and say that we repudiate part of that and we move on and we set our own priorities. and also focusing on austerities assays crosstalk next hour gas question just will be very what actually. it's funny you know that whole term austerity is not one i like very much because it has all these punitive connotations as opposed to what it really means which is that we need fiscal policies that make sense and by making sense you can't spend more than you take in for very long everybody with common sense knows this now they're calling it austerity like like all of us have done something wrong and well now you're going to get it and so either you either want austerity or you want the other thing which

is to continue the impossible for us austerity it's terribly austere people are suffering terribly it was you know peter at the stockholm school of economics and some time with my visiting appointment there and in that country we've seen upwards of ten percent of the people have to leave in this massive biblical like exodus i mean it's just absolutely terrible crushing and regarding the unsustainability of the system well yes true it is unsustainable but not for the reasons i think that has suggested i. research is that columbia university has released a fresh report on the dangers of drawn up for the u.s. the paper says not even top military stuff know the exact death toll of these unmanned strikes hailed by officials as surgically precise it can have long running consequences bond markets diplomatic relations says no rain shower while the authors don't get paid. whenever the u.s. is going into a country and exerting its force they're going to polarize public debate in those

countries so to us and tell you a sentiment it's not that's the beginning of the iceberg the tip of the iceberg really because we're also talking about governments in those countries they're seen as cooperating with the united states they might lose their legitimacy in their own publics views that can have a destabilizing effect on democracies and governments all across the world where we're conducting drone strikes we're talking not just about the number of civilians killed or the number of militants killed but the toll on these communities in parts of pakistan somalia and yemen we're talking about regions where there's already a problem of war but this is really adding to the problem as we have civilians who are really caught in the crossfire between milligan militant groups on the one hand and u.s. drone strikes on the other they're afraid of being being targeted merely because they're associating with individuals because they're outside they don't know what will let them be targeted and that's creating for them environment of hysteria and psychological torment when they just don't know when a drone will strike. in somalia drone strikes or only into the tension created by

gears of. african forces have taken control of a lucrative somalia pull ton of smile at all as long as the stronghold by al qaeda linked islamist fighters of al shabaab group it took five days of fierce street by street battles to reclaim key facilities in the city militants have now been forced from all of somalia's major cities. at least fifteen people have been injured in the bangladesh capital dark in clashes between riot police and opposition protesters police fired tear gas shells and used bottles against the demonstrators that it is came to the streets to protest the electoral reform under which the incumbent government oversee the next general election previously the polls were controlled by the independent caretaker government. to financial matters marinas there so what's happening this hour. all the russian markets have kicked off the trade and so i should. and i have to say there are still in the red territory extending those losses that was on the previous session

it will be interesting to see how mining company machel does today after losing three and a half percent after exporting its second quarter net loss was eight hundred million dollars on fall and while its prices we'll see what happens with out today moving on to there we're seeing a bit of a mixed picture and that's after starting the post of nose and we saw that carmakers are still losing on the neck and neck illusion about half a percent this hour and now i want to talk about the russian government tries been put in a lot of effort to attract foreign carmakers to manufacture in the country and they're doing that for preferential taxes but since joining the world trade organization and my japanese dollars all this work that's been put into this and our business editor and they all caught up with automotive expert stanley roots to discuss this issue of us take a listen. history of a true however that session is going to be positive for the industry it is going to increase competition but i think it. is so on.

the but the utilization fee that this has been needs to start from the side if you will. has like it sit with for many factors again it's not exactly aligned with the principle of the beauty which is to reduce barriers to trade but on the other hand russia certainly needs to deal with the issue of setting up the utilization infrastructure they haven't really got one in place and they need one in place to support to a growing industry given that growth potential for manufacturers you have to be well most of them are to be honest the twelve major manufacturers are here the first set of operations are busily putting together just sticks and supply chains actively developing the market i'm thinkin that even if the market does increase by fifty percent over the next four to five years i see these they do most of that capacity will be supplied by the factories or by expanding their facilities too

late then for manufacturers that are not open or building new they were hitting that way the door is definitely closing there may be able to support one or two to come in to fill the shoes but certainly most of the major manufacturers that want to be here are here already and they're looking forward to supplying even the growing market. and next hour how the european markets but for now that set from me back to us to the left all right thank you very much for that marina we'll see you next hour and in a few minutes i'll see talks to historian and author jeffrey while this has been discussed for the world has learned from history's deadlifts walls. well. science technology innovation all the developments

a story of. oxygen. wealthy british style. that's not on the. markets why not scandals find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kinds

a report on our. so. the so.

geoffrey roberts a historian and author of a great new book called stallions general it's a book about marshall as you quote who actually liberated the soviet union from nat isn't let the soviet army to conquer berlin in ninety forty five so will recommend . so in your book you discuss general marshall jacobus life and his military genius but do you agree that military genius taken alone isn't really enough to have a great victory or to win a great war because you also need self-sacrifice you need enthusiasm so if you look at the words of today let's say the war on terror there doesn't seem to be much if .
